Impact: #Linux-based #OS-es will fail to update.

This is deliberate sabotage. It debilitates millions of people and companies, including banks, hospitals, and nuclear power plants. This is the cyberviolence everyone told you wouldn't happen.

Salut tout le monde, je vois que la box #orange offre une option #vpn, ils demandent d'installer #shrew https://www.shrew.net qui a une version #linux. Vous savez ce que vaut ce logiciel ? On est obligé de l'utiliser ou on peut passer par openvpn ou autre ?

Happy to see the info screens in Norwegian trains is running #Linux (Debian)! Some years ago I saw the info screens at the train stations were running the latest #Ubuntu.

Can anybody familiar with Arch tell me whether Arch ships with firewalld by default?

The wiki says it ships with netfilter and iptables, but neither are activated by default; not clear on whether it offers a front-end at all.

What do you use on #FreeBSD to highlight text in #PDF files?

I really like the way it works on #Preview on #macOS: hit a shortcut for highlight, select text, and done: selected text is now highlighted.

#Okular is not bad but I would like to find something more lightweight. Also, I have to click more to get to the highlight tool whenever I need it.

OTOH, in #qpdfview I am stuck with rectangular selection (I'd like text selection instead).

I wonder what #OpenBSD & #Linux folks use...

Good news for #Linux users: with #UEFI and (some?) @Dell@twitter.com devices you can update your BIOS by just copying the evil .exe file into the EFI partition and select it for upgrade on reboot. Nice, no #Windows required anymore. Tested on Latitude 5285.

How to write a for-loop in Bash.

@desvox working on a new #linux #application in my #dadsocks -- also have I told you about free speech today?

A great example of the intellectual contortions required to keep pretending that the #Linux kernel is what unifies #GNU/Linux as an OS:
https://www.androidauthority.com/android-linux-784964/

As mentioned here, the key question that distinguishes one OS from another from a user POV, is can I run the same apps on it? The answer to that is what distinguishes GNU/Linux from Android/Linux and all the other uses made of the Linux kernel in routers, #DumbComputers ("#SmartTVs"), #IoT devices etc

TuxJam 74 - Every Rosa Has It's Thorn is out with the usual trio of @mcnalu, @thelovebug and @kevie reunited once again. We take a look at Rosa #Linux, Elisa Music Player and talk about Podcrawl Glasgow, all this combined with the usual mix of #ccmusic http://tuxjam.otherside.network/?p=420 #TuxJam #podcast #KDE

Microsoft refusing to sell #Huawei licenses for its #MateBook laptops could be great news for #GNU/ #Linux:
https://klgadgetguy.com/2019/05/27/microsoft-waves-goodbye-to-huawei-as-they-decline-orders-for-windows-os-for-matebooks/

If MS do the same to all Chinese laptop makers, chances are they will either collaborate on a GNU/Linux distro, or create one each. It seems logical that as soon as the Chinese government realizes it doesn't have to allow proprietary OS controlled by US corporations to be used in its territory, it will forbid them, as it already does with their internet services.

My fav keyboard shortcuts on #Linux (Gnome?):

Shift + Print Screen = Select an area to screenshot

Alt + Print Screen = Screenshot this specific window
